(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners this week authorized Sheriff Don Pounds to enter into a contract with Catering By Marlin’s Inc. to provide the food service and inmate commissary goods and services at the new county jail and law enforcement center.
The new facility is scheduled to open in August.
The Sheriff also presented for review a contract for the inmate phone card services.
Pounds reported on his continued research on the Nebraska Statewide Radio system. He will continue his research on the possibility of using the system at a later date.
It was also noted that Richardson County has been placed on the listing to receive the used radios from the Nebraska State Patrol later this fall.
Computer programming at the Jail and the continuance of the Sleuth records management system is still being reviewed and research is being conducted to consider other options to comply with the programming needs of the Jail.
Pounds also requested the agreement with the Lincoln / Lancaster Child Advocacy Center, which includes the City of Falls City Police Department, be amended so the City would pay half of the agreement costs of $2,100. Commissioners requested the Sheriff contact the Center to request that separate agreements be made with the County of Richardson County and the City of Falls City so that the total cost is divided up equally.
